Dear Alumnus,

The Alumni Relations Team wishes all our UKZN graduates and their families a very happy, healthy and successful 2015. We enjoyed interacting with so many graduates in 2014 and look forward to meeting even more graduates in the New Year – and particularly look forward to welcoming the new cohort of graduates once they graduate in April 2015.

The Alumni Relations Team had an exciting and busy 2014 - having interacted with many graduates at a range of events (including Student Chapter meetings, the Durban Alumni Association gatherings, the April 2014 graduation ceremonies, the Convocation AGM, the Cape Town, KwaZulu-Natal South Coast, Richards Bay and Pietermaritzburg Alumnus dinners and lunches and the international events) and via email, written and telephonic communication.

Communication via the website, Facebook, Twitter and SMS has increased and is an effective way of informing graduates of UKZN events and issues. In order to invite alumni to the planned events and to keep everyone updated on University events – we are eager to secure the current contact details of alumni – especially email addresses and mobile phone numbers. Also, please encourage any friends or relatives who are graduates and have not received any correspondence from the University during 2014 to provide us with their updated contact details. This can be done via the website. 

The 2015 proposed programme of activities includes a visit to Cape Town in March, a Durban Film Premiere also in March, a visit to Lesotho in May, a KwaZulu-Natal South Coast and a Mpumalanga lunch in June , a Gauteng event in August as well as a UK event in September. Golden Reunions in both Durban and Pietermaritzburg are also on the cards.

With our very best wishes, 
The Alumni Relations Team.
